LEGAZPI City—An autopsy report showed that a victim in the Camalig, Albay massacre was not pregnant, contrary to a statement issued by the victim’s kin, police said yesterday.
Marilyn Moral, 37, was not pregnant when she was murdered along with her husband Jesus, 48, and four children ages 10, 8, 7 and 5 on All Souls Day, showed a report of the Philippine National Police crime laboratory in Camp Simeon Ola here.
As of Friday, four of the five suspects in the case, identified as Pedro Nopia, Romy Palivino, Willy Nasol and Jose Nopia Jr. were already in the custody of the National Bureau of Investigation here. Another suspect, Pablo Nasol remains at large.
In a press conference on Thursday when four of the five suspects in the killings were presented to media, Marilyn’s sister Gloria Vera, 45, alleged her sister was four months pregnant when murdered.
Chief Insp. Rogelio Beraquit, Camalig police chief, immediately ordered a re-autopsy on Marlyn’s body. “If the autopsy result would tell that Marilyn was pregnant, we would add this to the case filed against the suspects,” he said
A case of multiple murder was filed by the police against the suspects before the Provincial Prosecutor’s Office last November 6.
Vera said “I couldn't explain the pain of losing her. When we saw her with pierced wounds all over the body and with her eyes gone, we could not accept what (the perpetrators) did to her.”
Other family members were shot, hacked, beaten to death and pierced with sharpened bamboo poles inside their house at Barangay Tumpa in Camalig town at around 9 p.m. on Nov. 2, police records showed. Ephraim Aguilar and Niño Jesus Orbeta, Inquirer Southern Luzon
